ART AGAINST KNIVES works with at-risk young people living in areas of London affected by knife crime and facilitates creative opportunities to help them secure employment, education or training.

Through creative workshops, they have been successful in supporting young individuals with a past in crime who need experience and opportunity to access education employment and training. They are able to provide industry experience, and exposure which other organisations do not have access to. In past projects they have worked in collaboration with brands such as DC shoes, Universal Music and Liberty to both fund projects and facilitate unique opportunities for young people.
